Bill, thanks for the response.For 50 years you did well in remembering.
Hi Bill,welcome.I was in I Troop in 1965/66 and HQ 1966/68.When I was Sq.CBR NCO I used to put you all through the tear gas chamber tent, and give classes in the auditorium/theater.Since I wore an eye patch due to injuries my closing statement at the end of my class was " I will always keep an eye out for you all." Do you remember that?
